Morgan, Duminy get BPL gigs
Tuesday, 23 July 2019
Eoin Morgan, who led England to their first World Cup title last week, is set for his maiden Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) stint, after signing up with Dhaka Dynamites for the upcoming season, reports ESPNcricinfo.
Morgan has played 268 T20s, scoring 5652 runs at a strike-rate of 128.25. Morgan's next assignment after the World Cup is the Euro T20 Slam, where he will represent the Dublin franchise. Morgan will then join another World Cup star Shakib Al Hasan at Dhaka later this year.
Meanwhile, Rajshahi Kings have signed up JP Duminy, the South Africa batsman who retired, as one of their two out-of-draft signings. They haven't announced their other signing yet.
Duminy has been a regular in other top T20 leagues like the IPL, but hasn't featured in the BPL until now. He didn't play in the 2019 season of the IPL, having endured an ordinary 2018 season with Mumbai Indians, scoring just 36 runs in six matches at the strike rate of 90.00.
